You start in the shower. Wash yourselves, wash each other, tease a little, then dry off, get into a clean bed and have at it. Standing sex in the shower is mediocre at best.

Have a chat with your local milliner (hat maker). They should have the skill and equipment to stretch it safely. Eg, Liza Steadman if you're in Victoria Australia.

What's the most first-world problem you currently have? in c/ask@lemm.ee

[–] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 2 points 6 days ago
